## How to call it through Zero

```sh
zero fetch --capability httpay-xyz-7d7586cb -d '<json body>'
```

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when an AI agent needs to retrieve current, real-world web search results for any general query — especially when up-to-date information, news, or broad web coverage is needed. Prefer over static knowledge bases when freshness matters. At $0.01 USDC per call it is cost-effective for single queries.

## Known failure modes

- Empty or ambiguous query returns no results or low-quality matches
- Query triggers Brave Search content filters and returns limited results
- Network timeout or upstream Brave Search API unavailability returns an error
- Payment not processed correctly (x402 payment failure) results in 402 response
